Yivvits And Mrbubble!

After weeks and weeks of saying we'll get back to saluting each Star Wars film we actually make good on the promise. This week it's a special salute to "The Phantom Menace." We discuss the good, the bad, the Jar-Jar... and how Star Wars Galaxies was influenced by TPM. As we have done the past few weeks we also salute a pivotal character from the Star Wars universe. We round things out with some analysis of how "Chapter 1," a.k.a. Publish 29, is being received by players. ** Special Announcement **We want to say a big thank you to one of our listeners, Zurthas, who last week presented us with the gift of our official in-game recording studio! It's an honor to receive something like this and we think everyone should stop by and check it out! Visit the studio on Valcyn, Talus, city of Star Haven, waypoint -329 -4438.

As part of the upcoming one year anniversary of our show we've unlocked the SWGwYaMB vault and are re-releasing some of our very first episodes! This week we bring you "Episode III" of the show and have included some brand new commentary to set things up. Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

As part of the upcoming one year anniversary of our show we've unlocked the SWGwYaMB vault and are re-releasing some of our very first episodes! This week we bring you "Episode 2" of the show and have included some brand new commentary to set things up. Enjoy, and thank you for listening! (Note: This is a bonus episode - don't forget to also download Episode 45 which was posted on Saturday, 6/10!)

We, Yivvits and MrBubble, are taking a new direction and as part of this change our shows will no longer be referred to as "episodes." Henceforth, you shall refer to each new show as a "subdivision." For example, this will be known as "Subdivision One." … Of course we're joking! This week we talk to a very interesting caller and we're surprised, bowled over and flabbergasted by their true identity. We salute a classic character who plays a crucial role in aiding the Rebellion. Finally, we chat about some of the changes "Chapter 1" a.k.a. Publish 29 have brought to Star Wars Galaxies.

Yivvits has been rather busy lately and as such the lawn at his Talus home is little... untidy. MrBubble helps him get the job done with some positive "encouragement." While chatting with our personal bodyguard, Mr. Corvan Dee of Valcyn, we give you a little background as to how our show came to be and MrBubble *tries* to clarify his comments about Trandoshan feet. We salute another extraordinarily significant Star Wars character and finally wrap things up with a swift outline of the test center publish 29 update notes.

It’s hard to believe that 29 years have passed since Star Wars was born! They grow up so quickly, don’t they? This week we take some time to talk about the original release of Star Wars and listen to some clips that play a central role in defining what Star Wars is. We salute a major character from “A New Hope��? in order to give you some additional insight into his psyche. MrBubble has something to rant about, which is rare, and Yivvits vows to not give up on his crusade to get the SWG user interface fixed-up. Support for the “Red Bull for User Interface Program��? separatist group is growing… Will the council accept the challenge? Only time will tell. Either way, you’ve got us to listen to while you reconfigure your toolbars again!

What are Yivvits and MrBubble to do when there isn’t much Star Wars Galaxies news to talk about? (As if that has ever stopped them!) Why, they salute a pivotal Star Wars character, of course! Who is this oh-so-important character? Well, the title of this week’s episode should give you a hint. We’ll give you a brief overview of the combat changes now on test center and discuss how productive life can be when you turn off the game for a few days.

This week we are happy to bring you yet another “regrouping and holding pattern��? episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble. The topics this week run the gamut from late night SWG sessions to American Idol (much to Yivvits displeasure) to a grand Yivvits rant regarding the SWG user interface. Not much news to talk of, but lots of talk... to talk... of. Be sure to check out our new forums and community site! Just head on over to http://www.yivvitsandmrbubble.com/

Don’t miss this one! It’s our fortieth episode and we’ve managed to book a couple of very special guests. Everyone’s favorite pop-culture psychologist is in the house and has a heart-to-heart with one of the Star Wars Galaxies developers. The time has finally come for the final showdown in our Trivia Challenge. Only one trivia intellect can stand at the top. Will it be Dack of Eclipse or Obi-Van of Valcyn? All of our usual clever tete-a-tete is in this episode as well!

This week it's round two of our trivia challenge finals - the battle for 2nd place! The questions are difficult; will any of our finalists be able to answer them? MrBubble looted something in space that has him acting as if he"s won the lottery and it isn’t a Black Sun helmet. We finish up this week with a rundown of the changes publish 28 has made to the game. Will Yivvits make it through the episode with his voice? Will publish 28 revive bounty hunting? Will Spiderman learn the true identity of the Green Goblin? Listen to find out!

This week marks the beginning of our Trivia Challenge Finals with the battle for third place! Who will take the trophy for third? Will it be Namuh, Beaqo, Alirc, or Thom? You want more? You got it! Also this week, Yivvits has some words he’d like to exchange with the developers regarding “no-trade��? items, we get an unexpected call from MrBubble’s brother back on Sullust, and there’s plenty of our usual witty repartee.

With everything that’s been going on in Star Wars Galaxies the past few weeks, we felt it was necessary to spend some additional time discussing the latest tidbits from the news room. We’ll get you up to speed on all the juicy morsels of information being dished out at the developer summits. Also this week, we try to figure out just what the deal is with some of the players on Lowca and MrBubble looks for a new housekeeper. Is there more? Oh, there most certainly is! You’ll have to listen to find out though.

This week we take an in-depth look at the general direction Star Wars Galaxies is heading in. We perform a postmortem on the copious amount of information posted during "Smed's Spring Break 2006 Post Fest.��? Yivvits and MrBubble both speak their peace on everything that"s happened with SWG during the past two years. If you haven’t been listening to the podcast for long and want to get a good feeling for where Yivvits and MrBubble stand on things, this is the episode for you. It’s much longer than usual, but we finally try to put some things to rest. (we’ll see about that!) Surely, this episode will be the foundation of the “Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble Archives.��? Now, we just need to find a hoity-toity, pompous, domineering old lady to be our archive librarian… What’s Joan Rivers doing these days?

Even though we are taking a break this week (well, MrBubble is :p ) we'd never leave you hanging without your SWGwYaMB fix... and that can only mean one thing - another fine item from our "Classics" collection! Ah yes, who can forget this episode! Originally, it was titled "The Holiday Special" but for this re-release we are going to change that to something that isn't so bland. You'll find about 15 minutes of BRAND NEW commentary at the beginning of the episode and, more importantly, it has been digitally re-mastered. (I've always wanted to say that) We'll be back next week with another fresh episode! Original episode Notes: This week we bring you our Holiday Extravaganza Podcast! We play some of our favorite Christmas carols and discuss the finer points of that timeless holiday classic, the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. Get yourself a big mug of eggnog; we've got lots of laughs and even some tender moments. Warm fuzzy greetings from your pal Yivvits, and wet slobbery ones from your other pal MrBubble!

MrBubble kicks off this episode with a surprise for Yivvits that he picked up at the grocery store. Comedy ensues. The word of the week is “rumor��? – and boy is there a lot of them. We weigh in with our own thoughts on some of the various SWG rumors floating around. No, we don’t believe most rumors, but they are still fun to talk about! Also this week, we complete round one of our listener trivia challenge, briefly touch on the upcoming changes to the entertainer profession, and round out the show with oodles of our friendly banter. Rumor has it, episode 35 is great!

Just what is there to talk about when there isn’t much going on in Star Wars Galaxies? Lots of stuff! After all, we are Yivvits and MrBubble; we have plenty of Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxies subjects to talk about. This week, MrBubble believes he has developed a breakthrough in frozen pizza preparation technique (something many SWG fans will want to hear). In addition, Yivvits and MrBubble both have some PvP stories to share and we speak with two more listeners and put them to our trivia challenge. Fill your home with the soothing aroma therapy potpourri of subjects in Episode 34!

This week, our trivia challenge starts to heat up like high noon on Lok and we talk to two more long time Star Wars Galaxies players. The “Rage of Yivvits��? continues as we update you on some of the work-in-progress changes coming to the game’s armor and PvP bounty systems (MrBubble has the shock collar on standby). Also, just how often is MrBubble thinking about Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxies? All this, and more, in episode 33! This is by far the most creatively titled episode of our show to date, but what exactly does it have to do with Star Wars Galaxies? You’ll just have to listen to find out!

While we eagerly await more news about future changes to SWG, we are, as Yivvits often says, in a holding pattern. That doesn't stop the laughs though! We continue with our listener trivia challenge, listen to some of our favorite Star Wars music clips, and talk about Yivvits' e-mail to Smed (don't worry Smed, it's good!) Even though there's not much news in Star Wars Galaxies land right now, there are always plenty of things for Yivvits and MrBubble to babble on about! Amazing!

This week we take a deeper look into the space side of Star Wars Galaxies. Two influential pilots from the Valcyn galaxy call-in to discuss their passion for flying and the space side of the game. We put them to our trivia challenge and a special “pilots only��? pop-quiz. MrBubble rants on about a grocery store clerk (I still think his joke was... not humorous or Star Warsy), we have some fun with the “Lando��? theme from TESB, and update you about this weekend’s Podcast Party!

Can you believe it? Thirty episodes! It's been a lot of fun for us, and we sincerely thank all of our listeners. With the passing of Phil Brown, who played the role of Uncle Owen, we kick off episode 30 with a tribute of sorts to everyone's favorite cranky old uncle. In addition to the usual repartee, we talk to a certain pop-culture doctor, discuss the recently posted publish roadmap, continue with our listener trivia challenge, and finish (again) with some SWG entertainer music. Episode 30 is jam-packed with nutritious vitamins and minerals; everything a SWG fan needs! (everything other than pizza of course)
